Chapter 472: Qiao Sang vs. Cui Pingkun
Chapter 472: Qiao Sang vs. Cui Pingkun
Lulu opened her mouth, and the temperature around her plummeted. A bone-chilling aura spread out in all directions.
The two Dual Blades, already within striking distance, began to form a layer of ice shell from their tips to their hilt, momentarily halting their advance.
When the cold air touched the yellow electric arcs on the blades, the electric arcs suddenly intensified, growing more powerful.
"Crack!"
The ice-encased tips of the Dual Blades snapped off and fell to the ground.
Calc Tower extended its two claws, palms facing forward.
Two yellow electric arcs shot out from its claws toward the Dual Blades.
The electric arcs on the blades flickered and connected with the incoming yellow arcs.
Under the influence of the electric arcs, the Dual Blades were retracted back into Calc Tower's claws.
"Whoosh!"
The moment Calc Tower gripped the two blades, a red glow flashed over its mechanical body, and it sprinted toward Lulu at an incredible speed.
No way, is Calc Tower using Electric-type skills because he guessed I would send out Lulu? How did he guess that... Everyone says that people from the Liaoxi Region who create and raise Mechanical Pets are smart, and it seems to be true... Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned when he saw the electric arcs on the Dual Blades, but quickly regained his composure.
Attribute weaknesses do make the match more challenging, but they are not insurmountable.
"Water Spray", Qiao Sang said calmly.
Hearing her Beastmaster's command, Lulu's energy surged rapidly, and a massive blue water stream enveloped her entire body.
In the next second, Lulu transformed into a water column and shot straight up into the sky.
Calc Tower twisted its wrists, and two flashes of blade light crossed, but they missed their target.
"Calc Tower."
Standing in Lulu's original position, Calc Tower raised its head, its pupils tracking the water column's changing direction in the sky at an abnormal speed.
Soon, a stream of data appeared in its red eyes.
[Skill: Water Spray]
[Proficiency: Perfection]
[Energy Fluctuation: 240,000—260,000]
[Speed: 29.9 meters per second]
[Attack Power: 1,474—1,519 kilograms]
[Ding, ding, recommend evading, recommend evading...]
Just as Calc Tower was about to follow the data's suggestion and evade, its Beastmaster's voice rang out:
"Electromagnetic Burst!"
"Calc Tower."
Calc Tower immediately stopped and called out, and a golden, violent current began to condense on its body.
Defeating Icechill in one strike would not be easy, given Icechill's Healing Light, which can heal any injury as long as there is energy within its body. However, if Icechill uses Water Spray for a close-range attack, this would be the best opportunity to defeat it... Cui Pingkun's eyes flashed with excitement as he watched Calc Tower.
Calc Tower would definitely suffer heavy injuries, but its defense is much stronger than Icechill's. As long as it can withstand the attack, Icechill will surely lose this round!
The audience stands began to buzz with excitement.
"This is going to be a head-on clash. From the looks of it, Icechill seems more formidable. By the way, what was the proficiency of its Water Spray? I saw a high-level Water-type Companion Beast use this move in a match yesterday, but its power seemed much weaker."
"In this situation, the proficiency of Water Spray doesn't matter much. Electric-type skills have an advantage over Water-type, and with Icechill covered in water and going for a close-range attack, it will definitely suffer more severe injuries."
"Don't just look at the setup. Electromagnetic Burst is an Advanced Skill. Even with low proficiency, its power is still formidable. It will likely end in a mutual defeat."
"Cui Pingkun is clearly at a disadvantage. Icechill has Healing Light, so even severe injuries can be healed instantly. But Calc Tower's injuries will persist."
It seems something is off,” the girl from Yuhua Region frowned.
“What’s off?” the boy beside her asked.
The girl replied, “I was at the Revival Match yesterday. When Cui Pingkun used Calc Tower, it employed Electric-Type Skills, specifically Electromagnetic Burst. The power I saw back then didn’t seem this weak.”
The boy was visibly puzzled, “You mean Calc Tower intentionally controlled the power of Electromagnetic Burst to a certain level, waiting for Icechill to attack before unleashing its full energy?!”
The girl nodded, somewhat uneasy, “I’m not sure if Qiao Sang watched yesterday’s Revival Match. With the massive amount of water on Icechill now, if Calc Tower’s Electromagnetic Burst has the same power as yesterday, I’m afraid Icechill might not survive.”
...
Electromagnetic Burst, a High-Grade Electric Skill, can trigger a powerful electric surge within the body, dealing massive damage to any creatures it touches... Qiao Sang observed the situation on the field, his expression calm.
The power is weaker than yesterday. It seems the opponent also wants Lulu to use Water Spray to attack Calc Tower... Is this a test of who has the stronger defense? In yesterday’s match, Calc Tower’s Electromagnetic Burst was at a small success level, but now it seems to be at a novice level... Qiao Sang’s expression remained unchanged, but his mind was working rapidly.
To increase the power of a Skill, one needs to channel internal energy, which, even if done quickly, takes a certain amount of time.
If the goal is indeed to have Lulu use Water Spray, Lulu will likely suffer heavy damage.
Given the attribute disadvantage, it could even result in an immediate loss of the match.
However, Water Spray is not the ultimate objective. Lulu will be injured, but it will only be for a moment. Before Electromagnetic Burst unleashes its full power, Lulu should have achieved the true goal.
In mid-air, the Water Spray’s speed increased, darting around erratically, making it impossible to predict its next move.
Suddenly, the Water Spray surged down from a blind spot behind Calc Tower.
[Warning! Warning! Behind you...]
The electronic voice in Calc Tower’s mind abruptly cut off.
The more advanced the Mechanical Pet, the more precise its functions. Whenever an opponent enters within ten meters of Calc Tower, an alert is triggered.
Although Calc Tower couldn’t see the movements behind it, the alert in its mind clearly indicated that the opponent was approaching.
“Calculate!”
Calc Tower channeled energy, and the golden current around its body suddenly expanded several times.
With the surge of the current, the ground around it cracked instantly, and countless fragments of rock floated up around Calc Tower.
“Icechill!”
At the same time, Lulu, seeing the terrifying golden current, remained resolute, charging in without hesitation.
“Bang!!!”
A loud explosion, the powerful golden current pierced through the water column and continued to spread, engulfing the surrounding area.
When the explosion’s effects dissipated, only an injured Calc Tower remained on the field, with no sign of Icechill.
The audience stands erupted in confusion, everyone puzzled and unsure of what had happened.
Did Water Spray leave water on Calc Tower? Is Icechill hiding in the water droplets on Calc Tower’s body like it did with Jaw Spark last time? That’s impossible; with the current surrounding Calc Tower, Icechill couldn’t have stayed there unharmed... Cui Pingkun’s frown deepened.
“Calculate... calculate...” At this moment, Calc Tower, looking in the direction of its Beastmaster, suddenly called out in a broken, intermittent voice, as if its connection was faulty.
Cui Pingkun’s mind raced, and he suddenly realized.
Damn! Icechill must have used the Water Spray to enter Calc Tower’s body!
